Memorable Experience in Edinburgh!
We did the master class in truffle making and it was amazing! Fraser started us off with some information and history of chocolate that helped us understand more about the chocolate-making process, and where there is space to improve in the chocolate industry. Serena led us in the truffle-making portion of the evening where we made various different types of chocolates (using cocoa butter transfer paper for very impressive designs) and molds, as well as ganache truffles and filled truffles! We came away with a substantial amount of chocolate (that we're still working on eating up!). Serena was a lovely instructor and we were free to experiment with our flavors as much as we wanted. After the class, we were given the opportunity to explore the various different flavors that plain milk or dark chocolate can provide depending on the strain of cacao used, as well as lots of chocolates with very interesting and creative flavorings (like Scot Pine, rhubarb and ginger, haggis, and others). This was a great addition to our 2-week trip and it was a nice change of pace from the various tours and museums we had been going on. Highly recommend!

SO MUCH Chocolate!!!!!
This tour of where chocolate comes from and how its made was absolutely brilliant. Our tour guide Crow was amazing!! She was so informative and engaging it was a joy to listen to her throughout. There was lots and lots of chocolate to try and you get to take home some of your creations too!!!! Me and my daughter enjoyed this so much. Thank you for a brilliant morning. I highly recommend doing this tour and it gets very busy so pre booking is advised as normally it sells out!!
